Barcelona Claims Spanish Supercup Title with 3-2 Victory Over Real Madrid in Jeddah

In a thrilling match, Barcelona secured a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Supercup final held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, reinforcing their dominance over their traditional rival.

Brazilian star Raphinha opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 36th minute, but Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior equalized with a remarkable individual effort in the second minute of stoppage time.

However, Barcelona quickly regained the lead when Robert Lewandowski scored after a brilliant assist from Pedri. Gonzalo García then leveled the match again for Real Madrid in the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time, capitalizing on a rebound off the crossbar.

In the second half, Raphinha netted his second goal and Barcelona's third in the 73rd minute, with his shot deflecting off defender Raúl Asensio, sealing the victory for the Catalan club.

The match also saw two red cards, the most notable being a direct dismissal of Frenkie de Jong for a harsh tackle on Kylian Mbappé.

This win marks the third consecutive year that Barcelona has triumphed over Real Madrid in a final, following a 5-2 victory in last year's Supercup and a 3-2 win in the Copa del Rey final in April 2025.

Barcelona's coach took a jab at Real Madrid regarding Mbappé, stating, "Remember the defeats of Real Madrid against us with his involvement," while Real Madrid looks forward to future matches for a chance at redemption.

The final was filled with suspense and drama, reaffirming that the Classico rivalry remains a highlight not only in Spain but also on the global football stage.
